In the preface the author states, "I had intended to write a somewhat technical volume dealing with the scientific results of my journey through Tibet with special reference to anthropology, both physical and social, omitting all matters of merely personal reference, but you have persuaded me that you and perhaps some of others would be interested in reading a plain account of some of the personal experiences which my secret expedition to Tibet entailed." $375 CAD
